Full disclosure: I am the co-creator of this blend. The star attraction is the deeply rich, mildly creamy peanut butter topping. The nutty, earthy, woody, toasty white burley has a very mild effect. The noticeable aspects of the Virginia and burley cavendish are light floral, nutty, earthy, woody, honey accents. The Virginia faintly offers grass, tart and tangy citrus, grass, bread, and sugar. The strength is a couple of steps past the center of mild to medium. The taste is just short of the medium threshold. The nic-hit is a notch past the mild mark. Won’t bite or get harsh. Has a few very light rough notes. The blend is a little moist, but I saw no need to dry it. Burns cool and clean at a slightly slow pace with a very consistent sweetness that extends to the pleasantly lingering after taste. Leaves little moisture in the bowl. Requires a couple more than an average number of relights. Has an attractive room note. Can be an all day smoke. Four stars.

First off I smoke Aro’s rarely. However, this blend may change that. This peanut butter blend is great to relax with. The room note is amazing. It reminds me of peanut butter cream candy my Grandmother used to make. I pushed this Aro I bit on purpose, no tongue bite at all. This is a great relaxing smoke and I can see myself enjoying it often. If your looking for a change of pace you just found it!!

As a newbie pipe smoker this tobacco is great. Very pleasant aromatics with nice toasted peanut notes. Burn is excellent as well. Highly recommended. Will keep this one stocked.

I was a bit hesitant to try this, then said, "What the heck?" I am so glad I did.
The aroma from the plastic bag is intense peanut butter. Easily smelled two or three feet away!
However, I found the taste to be very mild and lightly sweet, which stayed with the smoke all the way to the bottom of the bowl.
The blend is smooth and rather creamy. This isn't chunky peanut butter.
Quite honestly, I think I could smoke this all day. I might even pair it with Wilke's Cherry Cavendish. After all, who doesn't like PBJ?
This easily earns 4 stars and another purchase. Maybe a pound this time.

This was probably the most uniquely enjoyable pipe tobacco that I have tried in recent memory. And I have been a pipe hobbyist for 35 years trying more tobaccos than I can remember. One of a kind in the way tobaccos like Ennerdale, Bengal Slices and Erinmore are one-of-a-kind (at least in my experience). I’m not saying this tobacco tastes like those other tobaccos, it doesn’t, it’s just that it is uniquely its own thing and I can’t think of anything similar out there.
The cut is a thicker mix of medium and longer ribbons. It is a beautiful darker nut brown in appearance. Tin note is very pronounced and is lightly sweet and very very nutty. To me the taste is nuts, roasted peanuts, cream and caramelized sugar. Burley, cavendish and virginia flavors all blend together. To my tastes, it is much closer to a classic old-school va/bur aromatic and not a modern black cavendish blend. I’m told the room note is very nice and lightly sweet and nutty. Seems on the mild side in terms of nicotine. Burns well with a few re-lights, reasonably dry and quite cool.
I think this is an outstanding tobacco that will appeal to many types of pipe enthusiasts. I am primarily an English and burley smoker. I find this tobacco excellent. I highly recommend you give it a try.
Kudos to the creators for putting something out there that is unique in its own right and not simply a blending of otherwise readily available tobaccos.

I’ve never had such a penetrating aromatic. No baggie can retain the aroma and even in a mason jar, it feels like a few shreds touched the lid seal and still exudes the scent. Buttery, nutty, butterscotch, peanut, almond, butter tart , date square. Sweet but not cloying. A bit moist and needs a half hour of drying. Burns well and doesn’t need a lot of effort if packed lightly. Found some coarse cut leaf along with the ribbon (cool…!) Rich, tasty and decadent aromatic. It should mellow with time and would age well in a ball jar - I’m guessing since it’s so charged with flavour when fresh.

I was really skeptical about this.. I mean c’mon peanut butter! Well.. boy was I wrong. In an, um nutshell, this smells great, tastes great and the creamy nutty flavor pleasantly stays with you. Works morning, noon or night. A definite must in your rotation.
